Tor Browser 7.5 is ready for testing
by Georg Koppen 23 Jan '18

23 Jan '18

Hi all! Tor Browser 7.5 is ready for testing. Bundles can be found on: https://people.torproject.org/~gk/builds/7.5-build3/ This is the first stable release in the 7.5 series. Apart from the usual Firefox security updates it contains some notable improvements compared to the 7.0 series. Here are the highlights: 1) We ship the first release in Tor's 0.3.2 series, 0.3.2.9. 2) We redesigned parts of the Tor Browser user interface. First, we improved Tor Launcher allowing users to configure … [View More]bridges easier and making the whole bootstrap sequence less confusing and more streamlined. Second, we enhanced the security slider taking the user experience on mobile, as shown in Orfox, into account. 3) On the security side we enabled content sandboxing on Windows and fixed remaining issues on Linux that prevented printing to file from working properly. Additionally, we improved the compiler hardening on macOS and fixed holes in the W^X mitigation on Windows. 4) We finally moved away from Gitian/tor-browser-bundle as the base of our reproducible builds environment. Over the past weeks and months rbm/tor-browser-build got developed making it much easier to reproduce Tor Browser builds and to add reproducible builds for new platforms and architectures. This will allow us to ship 64bit bundles for Windows (currently in the alpha series available) and bundles for Android at the same day as the release for the current platforms/architectures is getting out. Please give the bundles a try if you can and give us feedback in case things break. We are especially interested in hearing back from Windows users about possible issues with the sandboxing part. The full changelog since Tor Browser 7.0.11 is: Tor Browser 7.5 -- January 23 2018 * All Platforms * Update Firefox to 52.6.0esr * Update Tor to 0.3.2.9 * Update OpenSSL to 1.0.2n * Update Torbutton to 1.9.8.5 * Bug 21847: Update copy for security slider * Bug 21245: Add da translation to Torbutton and keep track of it * Bug 24702: Remove Mozilla text from banner * Bug 10573: Replace deprecated nsILocalFile with nsIFile (code clean-up) * Translations update * Update Tor Launcher to 0.2.14.3 * Bug 23262: Implement integrated progress bar * Bug 23261: implement configuration portion of new Tor Launcher UI * Bug 24623: Revise "country that censors Tor" text * Bug 24624: tbb-logo.svg may cause network access * Bug 23240: Retrieve current bootstrap progress before showing progress bar * Bug 24428: Bootstrap error message sometimes lost * Bug 22232: Add README on use of bootstrap status messages * Bug 10573: Replace deprecated nsILocalFile with nsIFile (code clean-up) * Translations update * Update HTTPS Everywhere to 2018.1.11 * Update NoScript to 5.1.8.3 * Bug 23104: CSS line-height reveals the platform Tor Browser is running on * Bug 24398: Plugin-container process exhausts memory * Bug 22501: Requests via javascript: violate FPI * Bug 24756: Add noisebridge01 obfs4 bridge configuration * Windows * Bug 16010: Enable content sandboxing on Windows * Bug 23230: Fix build error on Windows 64 * OS X * Bug 24566: Avoid white flashes when opening dialogs in Tor Browser * Bug 23025: Add some hardening flags to macOS build * Linux * Bug 23970: Make "Print to File" work with sandboxing enabled * Bug 23016: "Print to File" is broken on some non-english Linux systems * Bug 10089: Set middlemouse.contentLoadURL to false by default * Bug 18101: Suppress upload file dialog proxy bypass (linux part) * Android * Bug 22084: Spoof network information API * Build System * All Platforms * Switch from gitian/tor-browser-bundle to rbm/tor-browser-build * Windows * Bug 22563: Update mingw-w64 to fix W^X violations * Bug 20929: Bump GCC version to 5.4.0 * Linux * Bug 20929: Bump GCC version to 5.4.0 * Bug 23892: Include Firefox and Tor debug files in final build directory * Bug 24842: include libasan.so.2 and libubsan.so.0 in debug builds Georg [View Less]

Tor Browser 7.5a5 is ready for testing
by Georg Koppen 23 Sep '17

23 Sep '17

Hi all! Tor Browser 7.5a5 is ready for testing. Bundles can be found on: https://people.torproject.org/~gk/builds/7.5a5-build4/ Besides the usual Firefox security nd extensions updates this alpha contains a bunch of long-awaited features: 1) We ship Tor 0.3.2.1-alpha, the first alpha release in the 0.3.2 series, with support for next generations onion services and a new circuit scheduler, KIST.[1] 2) Thanks to the work of Jed Davis we are able to ship a content sandbox for Linux users. … [View More]While the content sandbox is disabled in Firefox 52 ESR versions, which Tor Browser is based on, backported patches allow us to protect our Linux users with the same mechanisms that are provided to regular Firefox users. 3) The content sandbox is enabled for Windows users as well. While we still need to clean up our workarounds to get the sandboxing code to work with our mingw-w64 compiler, we think the enabled sandbox is ready for a wider testing in our alpha series.
